Mailchimp Pricing Plans
Find the Right One for You
Mailchimp pricing plans offer a variety of options for different email marketing needs.

Things already getting too complicated? Let our team of Mailchimp experts help you every step of the way.
Size Really Does Matter with Mailchimp Pricing
To clarify, Mailchimp’s monthly pricing plans are calculated according to your list size. Because every plan has a monthly sending limit for messages, it helps to know how many emails you can send to your audience with each plan.
Mailchimp Pricing Plans for Monthly Subscriptions
| Plan | Number of Contacts | Amount of Monthly Messages | Price per Month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Premium | 10,000 | 15x maximum content amount | $299 |
| Standard | 500 | 12x maximum content amount | $17 |
| Essentials | 500 | 10x maximum content amount | $11 |
| Free | 2,000 | 10,000 (daily limit of 2,000) | $0 |
Mailchimp Pricing for Commitment-Phobics: Pay-As-You-Go
If you’re still on the fence about which Mailchimp pricing plan you need, consider the Pay-As-You-Go program. To clarify, here the advantages of pre-paying for emails:
- No overage costs
- Freedom to send messages whenever you want—a distinct advantage for seasonal businesses or infrequent email senders
- Same features as the Essentials plan, including email templates, A/B testing, and 24/7 email and chat support
Certainly, the Pay-As-You-Go pricing plan does have its downside. Balanced against the benefits are the following drawbacks:
- Running out of credits prevents automations from being sent
- Credits expire after 12 months
- There is a no-refund policy on Pay-As-You-Go credits
- No Premium plan features
If you only plan to send occasional email broadcasts, then the Pay-As-You-Go option might make better financial sense than a monthly subscription plan. By all means, do the math and see what’s best for you.
Mailchimp Pricing for the Pay-As-You-Go Plan
| Number of Emails Sent | Price per Message | Pre-Pay Cost |
|---|---|---|
| 5,000 | $0.03 | $150 |
| 10,000 | $0.02 | $200 |
| 50,000 | $0.02 | $1,000 |
| 75,000 | $0.02 | $1,500 |
The Benefits of Each Monthly Mailchimp Pricing Plan
Of course, the more money you spend on a monthly Mailchimp plan, the more features you’ll enjoy. Specifically, here’s a look at what each monthly subscription plan contains.
Premium
Overall, the most expensive option is ideal for automation champs. Since it allows for advanced segmentation, multivariate testing, and comparative reports, this pricey plan is suitable for email marketers with these specifications:
- Have complex customer journeys (especially business-to-business organizations)
- Need custom HTML to convey their brand
- Possess a sizable marketing team
- Desire Monday–Friday phone support
- Seek to persuade investors with compelling data reports
- Require extra reporting capabilities to inform future automations, product launches, and sales offers
Standard
The most-recommended Mailchimp pricing plan is Standard, which offers multi-step automations, send-time optimization, and social post scheduling. To be sure, mid-sized businesses that want to scale and save time can benefit most from this platform. Accordingly, their marketing efforts boast the following capabilities:
- Focus on expanding an existing audience
- Send behavior-based automations
- Have a customer journey of up to 100 points
- Include building personalized, custom-coded templates
- Increase conversions through classic automation series
Essentials
The Essentials pricing plan is optimal for an emerging business that’s ready to leverage the power of email marketing. In particular, benefits include: removing Mailchimp logos from messages, access to all Mailchimp email templates, A/B testing, delivery by time zone, and chat and email support. Since the features of this pricing plan are quite limited, the Essentials may best suit small businesses with these concerns:
- Small marketing budget
- Need to build brand recognition
- Desire personalized messaging
- Want to test subject lines, content, and send times
Free
For the purpose of discovering what’s really involved in the email marketing game, newbies can try Mailchimp’s free plan. Its customer relationship management, or CRM, allows users to create contact profiles. Moreover, the plan also has a website builder with support from a virtual creative assistant. Consequently, it’s a viable option for very small businesses with no online presence to:
- Create a website
- Showcase an offer or a small group of products
- Generate Facebook and Instagram campaigns to reach a larger audience
Despite its attractive price point, the Free plan does have its limits. Without a doubt, having the Mailchimp logo on your emails undermines your brand’s authority. Indeed, it might be worth the price of a paid account to avoid this amateurish look.
How Mailchimp Pricing Impacts Your Email Marketing
Your Mailchimp plan determines the scope of future email campaigns. Therefore, if you’re shopping for plans according to features, here are some things to consider:
Split Testing
Balanced against the costlier plans, the Pay-As-You-Go and Essentials packages will allow you to perform A/B tests at the best value.
Customized Design Templates
With this goal, you’ll need the Standard plan at the very least.
Data Analytics
For the purpose of number-crunching, the Premium package is worth the splurge. In contrast to the cheaper pricing plans, Premium allows you to generate detailed reports to craft future marketing strategies and attract investors.
